Abstract

Optical antennas are critical components in nanophotonics research due to their unparalleled ability to concentrate electromagnetic energy into nanoscale volumes. Researchers typically construct such antennas from wavelength-size metallic structures. However, researchers have recently exploited the scattering resonances of high-permittivity particles to realize all-dielectric optical antennas, emitters, photodetectors, and metamaterials. Here, we review experimental and theoretical work concerning the resonant modes of subwavelength rod-shaped dielectric particles and their use as novel light emitters (transmitters) and photodetectors (receivers). Using a diversity of materials systems, dielectric optical antennas may impact a variety of photonic technologies throughout the visible and infrared frequency regime.
